Text

I thank the Minister for that important update. Will the Minister commit to assessing whether the length of time that it has taken to get to this juncture can be justified? I do not feel that it can. Will he also outline what engagement his Department has had with the Department for Communities on streamlining the application process for those who will not be captured by any legislative change?
